[PATCH] arm64: dts: qcom: Add backlight support for eDP panel

From: Yongxing Mou

Date: Tue Oct 28 2025 - 03:04:37 EST


Previously, the eDP panel backlight was enabled via UEFI. Added backlight
control node in kernel DTS due to some meta may not enable the backlight.

Aligned with other x1e80100-based platforms: the PWM signal is controlled
by PMK8550, and the backlight enable signal is handled by PMC8380.
